Good brake pad choice?

May 28, 2004 2 Replies

Hello all. During the course of a recent repair my mechanic told me the rear brakes will need attention soon. I bought my 96 XLT about 2 years ago, and this will be the first time I'll be having brake work done. Any good recommendations for pads, based on your experiences? The shop I do business at allows the customer to furnish parts, if we choose. My only criteria is that they be quiet and very low or no dust. Also, because my current situation has me on a tight budget, I need to keep cost in mind too. Oh, and in case this is important to make a suggestion, I have ABS. Thanks.

I like Raybestos PG (Profession Grade) Plus They are reasonably priced and perform very well.

Spend a couple extra dollars and install Ceramic pads. They're quiet, low dust, high temperature, so they can handle heat much better than a carbon metallic.

I'd goto Autozone and get their Morse Ceramics, very nice high quality pad.
